阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but unfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult (成年人) I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as“successful”as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions. Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father? Who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I'm delighted with my_new_friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult? A.He was silent most of the time. B.He was too proud of himself. C.He did not love his children.
D.He expected too much of her. 答案:D
解析:根据第二段第三句话 “He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as“successful”as he was.” 可知:作为一个年轻人,作者感到父亲让她难以接受,其原因在于父亲对她期望过高。
2.When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel________. A.nervous B.sorry C.tired D.safe 答案:A
解析:根据第二段第四句话 “Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.”可知:当作者在周末与父亲外出时,她会感到紧张。
3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson? A.More critical. B.More talkative. C.Gentle and friendly. D.Strict and hard-working.
答案:C
解析:根据第三段第三、第四两句话 “Gone was my father's critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father? Who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?”可知作者的父亲现在脾气温和、待人和蔼可亲。
4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to________. A.the author's son B.the author's father
C.the friend of the author's father D.the cafe owner 答案:B
解析:根据上文 “After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my farther.”以及下文 “My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.”可知。
